The initial transition from the family environment to the kindergarten was accompanied by many difficulties of separation, but soon she was integrated among the children and was prominent in her ability in all areas of singing, dancing, painting and acting. She was especially attached to the kindergarten teacher. Shira began her studies at the Duvdevani State Religious School in the Beit Hakerem neighborhood, where she excelled both in her studies and in her social life, among her teachers and her friends.In the fourth grade Shira joined the Scouts movement, after the family moved to the neighborhood She continued at the Yehuda Halevi School, where she took part in dance classes and was sent to athletics competitions.

Her high stature, her beauty, her fluent speech, the cynicism in her reactions, and the feelings she displayed for those around her could not leave anyone indifferent. She was in good contact with her family, both small and extended. Shira was always lively and cheerful, and it can be said that the sun was in our lives – now extinguished! “Shira fell during her service on February 1, 1997. She was laid to rest in the military cemetery on Mount Herzl In Jerusalem, left behind her parents and two brothers, and the family added the words: “Our daughter and our oldest sister, a unit, a special and beloved one.” The family commemorated Shira’s contribution to the synagogue. For about six weeks we were impressed that she had acclimatized quickly, demonstrated professionalism and a strong desire to move forward and succeed. All this was done with a lot of joy of life, optimism and activism, which characterized it very much … The premature death of Shira will remain in our heads for a long time, and all we have left is to strengthen you and hope that you will no longer know sorrow. “
